The mummer's dance 艺者之舞
 
 When in the springtime of the year
 在一年之春
 When the trees are crowned with leaves
 当树木深陷在繁茂的叶群
 When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
 当岑树和橡树，和白桦树、紫杉
 Are dressed in ribbons fair
 被美丽的缎带装饰一新
 When owls call the breathless moon
 当猫头鹰呼唤无息的月
 In the blue veil of the night
 在夜幕的蓝色面纱下
 The shadows of the trees appear
 树影浮现
 Amidst the lantern light
 在灯笼的亮光中
 We've been rambling all the night
 我们已漫游一夜
 And some time of this day
 还有白天的一些时间
 Now returning back again
 现在又回来了
 We bring a garland gay
 我们带来了头戴鲜花的快乐
 Who will go down to those sh groves
 它会走入荫蔽的小树林
 And summon the shadows there
 集起那边的阴影
 And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
 并且在庇护之臂上系上丝带
 In the springtime of the year
 在一年之春
 The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
 鸟儿的歌好象充满了整个树林
 That when the fiddler plays
 当琴者拨弄时
 All their voices can be heard
 你听到它们的歌唱
 Long past their woodland days
 远远地穿过它们的林中岁月
 And so they linked their hands and danced
 所以它们手拉手，跳起舞
 Round in circles and in rows
 成列成环地跳着
 And so the journey of the night descends
 而于是夜色中的旅行开始了
 When all the shades are gone
 当所有的林荫消失时
 "A garland gay we bring you here
 我们为你带来带满鲜花的快乐
 And at your door we stand
 我们站在你的门前
 It is a sprout well budded out
 那是个顺利萌发的幼苗
 The work of our lord's hand"
 杰作出自我们的主.
